I see everyone posting all these newer hardware specs for their servers, made me wonder who else is running old hardware like me?
I7 3770k 32GB ddr3 Ram Quadro P2000 Gig fiber.
No signs of slowing down either! Still handles 6+ multiple transcodes no issues.
UPDATE: This has been a lot of fun Plex Peeps! I don’t remember the last post in this subreddit that had so much engagement. Hopefully this will also be a PSA to the future PMS users that you can run a very capable server on very affordable hardware specs. Thanks again!
Hi Plex Users
I’ve recently built a new Plex server and decided to automate daily backups of the Registry Keys and AppData Folder, Excluding the Cache.
I’ve cobbled together the following script in Powershell and figured I’d share it should anyone else want to use it:
######################################################################################
## Title: Plex Backup Script
## Purpose: Backs up Plex Database Files & Reg Keys
## Useage: Run as Scheduled Task
## Version: 1.2
## Last Updated: 2022-10-06
######################################################################################
$RootBackup = "C:\PlexBackups" ### Adjust this to the path of the backup storage
IF (!(Test-Path -Path $RootBackup)) { New-Item -Path $RootBackup -ItemType Directory -Force } ### Create Folder if it doesn't exist
$DAY = (Get-date).DayOfWeek ### Determine the Day
$DayDestination = -join($RootBackup,"\",$Day,"-Backup") ### Create Day Folder …
Hi,
I have VIP accounts at DS and Geek and free at abnzb. Which other indexer should I get a VIP account for to complement content that the other 2 might miss? I mostly look for TV shows and movies.
​
Thanks.
Never paid for an account before. Is it a good bet to assume there will be sales on Black Friday or nah?
Looking specifically for video courses from some of the larger providers everyone has ebooks no one seems to have videos
I’m not sure why looking for a new server is the default action people take when downloads fail but IT SHOULDN’T BE! Here’s why.
All Usenet Backbones just back up the files uploaded to usenet groups. Essentially, Usenet backbones are all just copies of each other with slight differences.
Backbone main differences:
Some don’t back up all groups or use algorithms to filter out unpopular content
Some use different takedown types (DMCA Vs. NTD)
Retention limits
What you are really choosing between backbones are these options so when you have an issue with failed downloads the first thing to do is not buy a duplicate copy of your same backbone server. That should be your last step (taking care to make sure that you are buying one with differences in these 3 factors). Here are the steps I recommend you take to resolve your failed downloads before buying a new server.
I use a VPN for almost everything but I can’t get Sonarr working with a VPN so I just use it within my normal browser. I keep seeing these posts about random people editing their Sonarr settings because they are public. How do we make sure we’re locked down?
I have added Bleach in Sonarr. However in Sonarrr it is added as season 17, but the scene releases define it as season 1. This causes it unable to grab the episodes. How to solve this?
I’m not entirely sure how the discover tab presents me with the suggestions that it does, but it’s really good and mostly gets my tastes right on the nose. Well done to whoever coded that.
I spend a lot of time in Trakt discovering new things, and, every single thing I look at, I check whether it’s already available on Netflix or Prime (trakt has this info on each item page) as I already pay for those services and I don’t want to use up personal plex hard drive space for no reason.
Is the discover tab pulling info any from trakt? and, if so, is there any way of having that same ‘available on [x / y / y]’ info in the radarr discover list so I can skip those suggestions in favour of things that aren’t so widely available?
sorry in advance if i’ve misunderstood how discovery works
i have a few series that i have a mixed of 720 and 1080 episodes and would like to automatically update the 720p episodes to 1080 and i cant seem to figure it out. thanks in advance
I have series in different languages, but Sonarr keeps using english titles for all of them if they’re available and I truly hate this.
Is there a way to have Sonarr use the original title? (both in the series list and in the folder/episode names)
So series from USA would be in english, series from italy would have the italian title, japenese one the japanese title and so on?
